noun. Gaming. A strategy that seeks to provide means for overcoming a challenge (e.g. a boss fight) not by engaging with the challenge itself but rather by bypassing it altogether. It is oftentimes exploitative of a game's mechanics, taking advantage of oversights in game balance made by the developers to easily deal with an obstacle.
Cheese strategies trivialize challenging content, by either speeding the process up immensely to eliminate the challenge or by making it nigh impossible to fail (e.g. through creating means to infinitely heal oneself). One could distinguish between "fast cheese" and "slow cheese".
Not to be confused with glitch exploits. Cheese strategies always work within the bounds of the game.

A: Hey, I just can't beat this boss, this one move just kills me every time.

Using an incredibly lame and easy "no-effort" strategy within video gaming, or just in general. Has to be effortless, overpowered or just a purely try-hard and annoying way of "cheesing" an early win. Examples of this is Zerg rush (Starcraft) or using the Noobtube in any CoD game.
I hate Jerry. Last night, he was totally using a Cheese strategy. You know the one with the roundhouse kicks? Yeah, he did nothing but that and won within 2 minutes.

A statistical analysis of customer experience. Make it extremely tedious and difficult to cancel/downgrade/do anything with your service. The benefit of people giving up and accepting unnecessary fees or undesired services outweighs the cost of those that do leave.
Comcast has determined that their strategy of impossible customer service benefits the bottom line more than being a customer-friendly company.

Comcast strategy example:
To cancel a service you must be on hold and bounced between representatives for at least 30 minutes. The percent that give up and accept whatever fee is more profitable than correcting the percent that do quit/give the company a bad reputation.

The idea that there are already sucessful strategies that can be used in every situation.
The usage of them doesn't require experience if it is informed by expertise.
